On November 4 (UTC+8), FTX founder SBF (Sam Bankman-Fried)'s defense lawyers plan to file a request for a retrial with the appeals court, claiming that media coverage, the prosecution, and US District Judge Lewis Kaplan's hasty verdict led to his wrongful conviction. The defense requests that the judge be replaced and the trial be restarted.

The legal team stated that SBF had no subjective intention to defraud customers, that he always believed that user funds could be fully repaid, and accused Judge Kaplan of preventing him from explaining the key argument that "FTX has sufficient assets to repay users" to the jury during the trial.

It is reported that in addition to the appeal, SBF's parents also sought a pardon from President Trump.
